…men Bob består.
Jeg har lige skaffet mig billet til Bob Dylans koncert i Gigantium i Aalborg den 22. oktober. Man vil måske kunne få øje på mig i TV2Nords reportage; en kameramand luskede i al fald rundt i billetkøen i Aalborg i over en time.
I min iPod er der for tiden følgende albums med Bob:
- Bringing It All Back Home
- Love And Theft
- Oh Mercy
- Time Out Of Mind (en klar favorit)
- Nashville Skyline
aakjær: mail på vej. jeg har været udenlands og kunne ikke svare før i dag – men god og spændende opdagelse at vinde en køre-CD!
Yugo Star send lige en e-mail med dit navn og adresse til aakjaer[snabel-a]pc[punktum]dk. Har du på forhånd nogle præferencer?
Bingo – Yugo Star. Begge numre indledes med samplede crickets 🙂
Jeg lover dig du får en fed køre-CD, selvom du ikke kendte Dylan nummeret. Det kommer du til. Jeg laver den til dig i weekenden.
OK aakjaer – jeg er ikke helt sikker og kan ikke tjekke det da jeg ikke ejer Dylan-skæringen (endnu): men måske noget med de syngende cikader som også pryder første skæring hos Unmack???
Jeg ved udemærket hvad du tænker på, aakjær! Men jeg kan sgu’ da ikke tillade mig at vinde en køre-CD her på min egen weblog-side:-)
Iøvrigt sang overtegnede en ret rawkandrollet version af Man In The Long Black Coat til den store Dylan-tribute-koncert, der var i Den Grå Hal på Christiania da han fyldte 60 år. Så man må sige du – bevidst eller ej – er konceptuelt orienteret i din quiz!
hm…. foretrukket
Ja, nu har næsten alle omkring mig hørt det så….. her kommer den: JEG FIK DÆLEME FAT I BILLETER TIL DYLAN-KONCERTEN!!!! Min første, tilmed… Det blir det største. Og til jer københavnere så er det da tankevækkende at mr. Dylan de sidste 2 gange har foretrykket det jyske…..
Er der ingen der har et bud på quiz’en?
Jeg udlodder en hjemmesamplet CD til os moderne mennesker med CD i bilen 🙂
Jens, ved du hvad jeg tænker på?
Dylan’s egen favorit blandt utallige coverversioner der er lavet af hans sange, er – ifølge et Bob D-interview i Rolling Stone ca. 1970 – Elvis Presley’s formidable udgave af Tomorrow Is A Long Time.
Quiz time 🙂
Hvad har Unmacks “Joyride” til fælles med Dylans “Man in the Long Black Coat”?
“Oh Mercy” er efter min mening Dylans bedste album – efterfulgt af TOOM. Daniel Lanois er sat her på jorden for at producere Dylan albums.
“Blind Willie McTell” er virkelig et fantasktisk nummer – og i hvertfald det i særklasse bedste nummer Mark Knopfler nogensinde har medvirket på. Dylan mente dog ikke at nummeret var godt nok til at komme med på Infidels og det blev først udgivet på Bootleg opsamlingen 10 år senere! Herrens veje er uransalige.
Top 3 over bedste Dylan covers:
1. Jimi Hendrix – All Along The Watchtower
2. The Byrds – Mr. Tambourine Man
3. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Death Is Not The End (Især Shane MacGowan’s linie 🙂
Værste Dylan cover nogensinde (vil aldrig blive overgået):
Guns’n’Roses – Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door
Her er min top 5 over album – den er lidt anderledes….
1: Blonde on Blonde
2: Blood on the tracks
3: Highway 61 revisited
4: Bringing it all back home
5: Time out of mind
Yep, det er en lang tekst. Sangen varer også over 11 minutter!
Tillykke med at du skal ind og se Mesteren, Pastor. Men hvorfor har du indsat et billede af Nikolaj Nørlund?!?
En 5-top over bedste Dylan-albums:
1. Time Out Of Mind (enig med Thor og Pastoren)
2. Oh Mercy
3. Nashville Skyline
4. Blood On The Tracks
5. Street Legal
En ditto top-5 over allerbedste Dylan-sange:
1. Brownsville Girl
2. Changing Of The Guards
3. Blind Willie Mctell
4. Trying To Get To Heaven
5. I Threw It All Away
Brownsville Girl er fra fra en ellers ligegyldig plade (Knocked Out Loaded), så der er ikke mange der kender denne kæmpe sang, hvis road-movie af en tekst er lavet i samarbejde med manuskriptforfatter-geniet Sam Shepard.
Hovedpersonen kører nat nonstop gennem ørken og mindes dele af en film med Gregory Peck, som han alligevel ikke rigtig kan huske detaljerne fra. Han længes efter det han har mistet af sig selv, efter noget han ikke længere ved hvad er, imens der køres uafbrudt afsted. Alt dette bliver ikke sunget til hende han nu rejser sammen med, men udelukkende til den ikke-tilstedeværende pige fra Brownsville, der har “teeth like pearls, shining like the moon above”.
Da natten går på retræte og solen endelig kommer op over bjergene synger han: “Well, we’re drivin’ this car and the sun is comin’ up over the Rockies/ Now I know she ain’t you but she’s here and she’s got that dark rhythm in her soul/ But I’m too over the edge and I ain’t in the mood anymore to remember the times when I was your only man/ And she don’t want to remind me. She knows this car would go out of control…!
Og musikken selv? Den er mægtig, med store forløsende omkvæd! Hør den sang!!!
BROWNSVILLE GIRL
Well, there was this movie I seen one time,
About a man riding ‘cross the desert and it starred Gregory Peck.
He was shot down by a hungry kid trying to make a name for himself.
The townspeople wanted to crush that kid down and string him up by the neck.
Well, the marshal, now he beat that kid to a bloody pulp
as the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath.
Turn him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me fair and square,
I want him to feel what it’s like to every moment face his death.
Well, I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes a-rolling in
And you know it blows right through me like a ball and chain.
You know I can’t believe we’ve lived so long and are still so far apart.
The memory of you keeps callin’ after me like a rollin’ train.
I can still see the day that you came to me on the painted desert
In your busted down Ford and your platform heels
I could never figure out why you chose that particular place to meet
Ah, but you were right. It was perfect as I got in behind the wheel.
Well, we drove that car all night into San Anton’
And we slept near the Alamo, your skin was so tender and soft.
Way down in Mexico you went out to find a doctor and you never came back.
I would have gone on after you but I didn’t feel like letting my head get blown off.
Well, we’re drivin’ this car and the sun is comin’ up over the Rockies,
Now I know she ain’t you but she’s here and she’s got that dark rhythm in her soul.
But I’m too over the edge and I ain’t in the mood anymore to remember the times when I was your only man
And she don’t want to remind me. She knows this car would go out of control.
Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls, teeth like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl, show me all around the world, Brownsville girl, you’re my honey love.
Well, we crossed the panhandle and then we headed towards Amarillo
We pulled up where Henry Porter used to live. He owned a wreckin’ lot outside of town about a mile.
Ruby was in the backyard hanging clothes, she had her red hair tied back. She saw us come rolling up in a trail of dust.
She said, “Henry ain’t here but you can come on in, he’ll be back in a little while.”
Then she told us how times were tough and about how she was thinkin’ of bummin’ a ride back to where she started.
But ya know, she changed the subject every time money came up.
She said, “Welcome to the land of the living dead.” You could tell she was so broken-hearted.
She said, “Even the swap meets around here are getting pretty corrupt.”
“How far are y’all going?” Ruby asked us with a sigh.
“We’re going all the way ’til the wheels fall off and burn,
‘Til the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin dies.”
Ruby just smiled and said, “Ah, you know some babies never learn.”
Something about that movie though, well I just can’t get it out of my head
But I can’t remember why I was in it or what part I was supposed to play.
All I remember about it was Gregory Peck and the way people moved
And a lot of them seemed to be lookin’ my way.
Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls, teeth like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl, show me all around the world, Brownsville girl, you’re my honey love.
Well, they were looking for somebody with a pompadour.
I was crossin’ the street when shots rang out.
I didn’t know whether to duck or to run, so I ran.
“We got him cornered in the churchyard,” I heard somebody shout.
Well, you saw my picture in the Corpus Christi Tribune. Underneath it, it said, “A man with no alibi.”
You went out on a limb to testify for me, you said I was with you.
Then when I saw you break down in front of the judge and cry real tears,
It was the best acting I saw anybody do.
Now I’ve always been the kind of person that doesn’t like to trespass but sometimes you just find yourself over the line.
Oh if there’s an original thought out there, I could use it right now.
You know, I feel pretty good, but that ain’t sayin’ much. I could feel a whole lot better,
If you were just here by my side to show me how.
Well, I’m standin’ in line in the rain to see a movie starring Gregory Peck,
Yeah, but you know it’s not the one that I had in mind.
He’s got a new one out now, I don’t even know what it’s about
But I’ll see him in anything so I’ll stand in line.
Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls, teeth like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl, show me all around the world, Brownsville girl, you’re my honey love.
You know, it’s funny how things never turn out the way you had ’em planned.
The only thing we knew for sure about Henry Porter is that his name wasn’t Henry Porter.
And you know there was somethin’ about you baby that I liked that was always too good for this world
Just like you always said there was something about me you liked that I left behind in the French Quarter.
Strange how people who suffer together have stronger connections than people who are most content.
I don’t have any regrets, they can talk about me plenty when I’m gone.
You always said people don’t do what they believe in, they just do what’s most convenient, then they repent.
And I always said, “Hang on to me, baby, and let’s hope that the roof stays on.”
There was a movie I seen one time, I think I sat through it twice.
I don’t remember who I was or where I was bound.
All I remember about it was it starred Gregory Peck, he wore a gun and he was shot in the back.
Seems like a long time ago, long before the stars were torn down.
Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls, teeth like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl, show me all around the world, Brownsville girl, you’re my honey love.
